Church of San Michele Arcangelo

Situated in the main square of the town, the little church has a single nave, and has undergone much restoration over the centuries. Three blind openings rise up from the façade with its exposed stonework. Two of these contain wooden figures of saints and one a window. The graceful bell tower dates from the first decade of the XX century.

The whole construction includes various frescoes and wall paintings of the years 1910-1915. Among them, that of S. Michele Arcangelo carried out by the pro-tempore parish priest at that time, don Giulio Renia.

In 1834 the parish was transferred definitively to the church of S. Maria delle Grazie, S. Angelo having been completely destroyed by then and only used as a burial ground.The new parish underwent various damage, until it was restored in 1880 by the parish priest don Raffaele Costantini; his successor, don Giulio Renia personally painted frescoes throughout the church and these well-preserved paintings can still be admired today.
